The Chilean government admitted that ten other people had won the vaccine developed by Pfizer first and BioNTech won as a second dose through the Chinese laboratory Sinovac. This is an unprecedented episode whose consequences have now been discovered. In addition, a six-month-old baby won the Sinovac vaccine, which is not recommended for children under 16 years of age. These errors in the vaccination crusade occurred within the framework of the wonderful progression that allowed Governor Sebastián Piñera to meet the goal of vaccinating five million Chileans with at least one dose. The country is reporting the highest number of critical ailments of the entire pandemic amid a second year of concern.
“We manifestly regret that this error has occurred in the vaccination of other people in the municipality of San Bernardo (south of Santiago), but we declare that they are specific cases,” Health Minister Enrique Paris said at a press conference. Paris explained that those other people will be vaccinated again with the Pfizer dose that corresponds to them, but said that it will not be soon after 21 days. With the intention of paying attention to criticism, the minister trusted that this type of scenario “happens in everyone and can happen in other campaigns,” and affirmed that those affected “are not in danger. “
El titular de la cartera de Salud admitió que esta semana se cometió otro error cuando una enfermera inoculó en la ciudad sureña de Villarica a un bebé de seis meses con el producto Sinovac, que sólo está aprobado para su uso en mayores de edad. “La enfermera que cometió este error avisó rápidamente a la madre del lactante de lo que había ocurrido, y aunque la situación es grave desde el punto de vista del error, en ningún caso esto es grave para la salud del menor, porque esta es una vacuna con un virus muerto”, explicó Paris.
El ministerio de Salud chileno informó este miércoles que 3.088 camas de cuidados críticos se encuentran ocupadas por casos de coronavirus, lo que supone la mayor cifra de toda la pandemia. En concreto, 2.133 de ellas corresponden a unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI) cuya ocupación viene aumentando durante las últimas semanas en el marco de la segunda ola de covid-19 que azota al país. Actualmente existen un total de 188 camas críticas disponibles en el país.
Para aliviar la carga hospitalaria y poder atender el aumento de la demanda de enfermos con problemas derivados del coronavirus, el subsecretario de Redes Asistenciales de Chile, Alberto Dougnac, anunció este martes la suspensión de cirugías electivas en 11 de las 16 regiones del país. La medida, que entrará en vigencia este viernes, excluye a aquellas cirugías cuyo retraso implique un riesgo grave para la salud o que pueda generar secuelas funcionales graves, así como las operaciones realizadas a pacientes pediátricos.
The Paris ministry said many of the newly hospitalized young people would not be able to access vaccination according to the planned schedule. The country has completed the vaccination of all citizens in the region, made up of another five million people. “Guaranteeing vaccines for all Chileans is an incredibly complicated area and full of obstacles, but we have achieved them,” celebrated President Sebastián Piñera. Chile is the fourth part of the country where the largest number of people are inoculated (more than 36 for half of the population) and the maximum temporarily vaccinated, with 1. 4 doses per day for every hundred inhabitants.
The pandemic, however, is expanding in the South American country. Given the set-up of the fruitful scenario of the holidays in the southern region, the government made the decision to relax the measures in the capital and in other parts of the country, decreeing dates for weekends in certain places and general confinements in others. The Minister of Health showed himself on the contrary in the whole of the 4 weeks, which had a moment that did not affect the people of Santiago during the days running, but said that perhaps he will not get rid of everything.
“Quarantine in general is not the solution at all. We said that if other people are not alive, they don’t have a way to feed themselves, and they don’t have access to where they are going to get credit cards, money to live. You can’t download just any plan. ” We can’t do it in medicine, but that’s not the solution,” Paris said.
Illnesses on the fitness card yielded 4,395 new cases of covid-19. With this figure, the total number of infections of the pandemic in Chile rose to 905,212. As for deaths, it recorded 27 deaths, which raised the total number of patients to 21,816. .
